The Polat Renaissance Istanbul Hotel - Istanbul, TURKEY 27 - 31 July 2009
INTRODUCTION
The most significant unanticipated costs on many construction projects are the financial impacts associated with delay and disruption. Assessing delay and disruption, establishing a causal link from each delay event to its effect, contractual liability and the damages experienced as a direct result of each event can be difficult and complex. Construction experts are now being faced with Daubert-like challenges in international Arbitrations, with little guidance as to what governing protocols or industry standards these experts will be held to when conducting Critical Path Delay Analysis. The Presenter will present a few of the most commonly used methods of delay analysis, explain the application of the Daubert test in delay related cases, and most importantly, the series of assumptions a delay analyst must make when attempting any method of delay analysis. Mr Caletka will also present a brief update on recent case law relevant to delay and disruption and brief real-life case studies from recent assignments, time allowing.
